Logitech G PRO Wireless Gaming Mouse
Logitech yesterday has released the new Logitech G PRO Wireless Gaming Mouse, the first Logitech G LIGHTSPEED wireless gaming mouse designed with and for professional esports athletes.
The Logitech G PRO Wireless mouse was built for the highest levels of professional play and features Logitech G’s next-generation HERO (High Efficiency Rated Optical) 16K sensor for the ultimate in sensor speed, accuracy and responsiveness. The PRO Wireless mouse also features Logitech G’s exclusive LIGHTSPEED wireless technology, the only wireless solution that provides pro grade performance and is actively used in tournament play by top professionals.
The PRO Wireless mouse was designed to be ultra-lightweight at 80g and yet incredibly strong. A feat of engineering, this strong lightweight build is thanks to an advanced 1mm thin wall construction and unique endoskeleton design. The PRO Wireless is also compatible with the Logitech G POWERPLAY Wireless Charging System, for infinite charging and play. The mouse represents more than 2 years of development in collaboration with more than 50 professional esports players globally, and blends extreme performance with the most advanced technologies into a gaming mouse design intended to do one thing: help you win.
“We’ve always believed that wireless would advance so esports pros could play and win with our wireless gear,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech Gaming. “We've had players using this mouse in competition for months, including Profit from the London Spitfire at the OWL Championship, and it's a proven winner.”
For a performance edge on the competition, the Logitech G PRO Wireless features Logitech G’s industry-leading HERO 16K sensor, the highest performance sensor available today. The HERO 16K sensor incorporates an all-new lens and an updated tracking algorithm that delivers ultra-precise tracking with no acceleration, smoothing, or filtering over the entire DPI range. It exceeds the performance of previous generation sensors, and is capable of exceeding 400 IPS and delivering 16,000 DPI tracking with pixel-precise accuracy.
"Having such a lightweight wireless mouse that I knew I could depend on made a huge difference for me at the championship," said Profit, London Spitfire. "It helped me win the MVP - it's a god mouse."
Coupled with Logitech G’s ultra-fast LIGHTSPEED wireless technology, the Logitech G PRO Wireless provides a lag-free gaming experience, with a 1ms report rate, end-to-end optimized wireless connection and incredible responsiveness for reliable competition-level performance. The LIGHTSPEED Wireless USB receiver can be stored inside the mouse for easy portability.
Every aspect of the Logitech G PRO Wireless allows for precision control. The mouse was designed in collaboration with over 50 esports pros and the result is a mouse that's both lightweight, comfortable and delivers the highest performance.
“It was really cool to collaborate with Logitech G on a project like the G PRO Wireless mouse," said Zven, Team SoloMid. "They really listened and reacted to our needs. We asked for everything and they designed an amazing mouse that is perfect for my needs.”
The mouse also features removable left and right side buttons that make it truly ambidextrous and all buttons and LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting can also be customized using Logitech Gaming Software (LGS). The DPI button is located on the underside of the Logitech G PRO Wireless to prevent unintentional DPI shifts in-game.
In addition, Logitech G also announced today that the Logitech® G PRO Gaming Mouse will get an upgrade. The new mouse will include Logitech G’s new HERO 16K sensor and a low-friction, flexible cable, while keeping the comfortable classic design and superior click performance.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G PRO Wireless Gaming Mouse and the Logitech G PRO Gaming Mouse with HERO sensor are expected to be available at global retailers in August 2018 for suggested retail prices of $149.99 and $69.99 respectively.

@tsunami231 if you use windows 10 (not tested by myself if it works on older windows versions)
buy/use a original ps4 dualshock 4 (second gen; model number on the box CUH-ZCT2 recognisable by the lightbar visible at the front of the controller, these are more durable and have slightly better battery time)
AND
a ps4 dualshock usb wireless adaptor and your problems are solved... (model number on the box starts with CUH-ZWA1)
the dualshock4 and receiver without inputmapper works as direct input (which nowadays has low game compatibility, only older games and emulators mostly use this)
once they are synched and input mapper is installed, plug in ps4 stick, wait a couple of seconds, press ps button on controller, wait a few seconds, start input mapper wait for colour bar to change colour (customisable in inputmapper to even show battery level wich is really handy in my book), minimize input mapper and start the game...
there is one downside, the ps4 dualshock battery lasts only 7 to 10 hours (depends on the game) before recharge is needed...

need xinput like the xbox 360 controller for great game compatibility use: https://inputmapper.com/ and set up a profile so it emulates a xbox 360 controller...
sidenote: inputmapper also works great with steam, never had an issue....

Yes, very happy. 0 lag, awesome tracking and it is light. I use one duracell AA lithium and its about 89g total, it also lasts around 2 months. I wish it was a little bigger (Like this G Pro Wireless), but thats mostly preference. To be honest, I will never use a wired mice anymore seeing as Logitech can make their wireless mice as fast as wired now.
Weight used to be a problem for wireless mice, but with the G305 and G Pro WL, thats no longer the case.
